Referred to the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence.
This bill strengthens oversight of the Department of Homeland Security's intelligence activities by requiring the agency to better protect privacy rights, civil rights, and civil liberties when handling intelligence information. The legislation amends the Homeland Security Act to establish new coordination requirements between DHS's Chief Privacy Officer, Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis to ensure intelligence is shared and retained properly. The bill mandates that DHS provide training to intelligence personnel on privacy protections and civil rights laws, particularly for those who analyze or disseminate intelligence information. The changes affect DHS intelligence operations and personnel across the agency, though no new funding or specific timelines are outlined in the legislation.
